Outback did reproduce the part. It was delivered to my door, finished ready to mount, for a total of $60. I am very happy it. My issued M24 would have had an OK Weber base, but it was taken off long before I was issued the rifle. I looked for a few months for an original WB490. I had a few near...

I had an inquiry about the WB 490 mount I had made through Outback Gun Parts about the finish, so I thought I would post a couple pictures to show the product Here are a couple pics from eosix on page 10 of this thread for comparison, so anyone interested can see the differences without...

I actually prefer the black closed foam that comes in a crate between the two ammo cans and duct tape. A piece of sleeping pad, or a mouse pad from your computer works well too. I covered mine with a little piece of canvas from an old duffle bag, but that was going over the top. Moleskin...

TIS Slip Cuff Quick Release. Its very comfortable and you can choose several different ways to carry your rifle. If by some unexpected situation pops up, it makes an excellent shooting aid as well. I bought mine from Triad Tactical. I have several slings from TAB, TIS and of course the...

My rifle came back from Texas Brigade Armory a couple days ago, and I am very happy with it. I was able to take it to the range yesterday and was easily able to match the "proof target". I hope to do a little more shooting today. On the left is te "Proof Target" from TBA, on the right...

I was issued a Leupold MK4 12-40x60 spotting scope with a Mildot reticle and I loved it. I would like to buy one for my personal use, but would opt for the TMR reticle instead. I found the glass to be very clear. I never found the quality lacking on my Leopoldo spotting scope, but I have shot...

PTG offers several options. Williams makes a good drop in bottom metal, just make sure you have the newer version. Dakota Arms makes a nice hinged floorplate as well. If you look around you may be able to pick up one of the above mentioned floor plates used, they don't really wear out and you...

I saw the same listing earlier, but noticed the seller had other bases besides the WB490, and the seller states he will choose which base he sends. If the seller sends the correct WB490 base, it will still need to be modified. Outback parts will sell you the piece that has already been modified...

You could cut any shape you want, like a leaf for example, you can color the cardboard any tactical color you want. It will fit inside your lens cap when you are not using it as well. It's just one way to skin a cat or coyote in your case. Tape, sheer pantyhose stretched over your objective are...

Check with Stockies to make sure it's the PST24 stock not the PST11, the main difference is the inletting for both the bottom metal and the barrel contour. I would just call HSP, I had one within a month of my call. Don at HSP was the person that suggested I give Dakota Arms a call after making...

If you call Dakota Arms directly, they may still have some of the orginal R700 "contract bottom metal" Make sure you let them know what its for, as the long action 510 will not fit the HSP PST24. The PST24 was inletted for the "contract bottom metal". not the standard BDL bottom metal. I was...

I would look hard at Williams or PTG for great value. I recently bought a Dakota for my M24 clone build and was very impressed with it, but it wouldnt fit a standard BDL without modification, the new Williams and PTG will.

I love my Leica 1600, I would like to trade it in for the newer 1600B, but I have been really happy with my choice. In my price range it came down to the Leica 1600 and the Swarovski. I gave the edge to Swarovski on clarity, but liked the smaller size of the Leica 1600. I am very confident I...

Funny, when I first saw this thread I thought it would show a map of Iron ore deposits, located throughout the world so that when the zombie apocolypse comes, the survivalist with the appropriate blacksmithing skills would be able to locate the iron ore, and fashion it into emergency weapons...

Its tough to beat a sock filled with polypro beads. They are so simple to make I am always amazed that there is actually a market for "commercial" sand socks. I guess to each their own, but I would rather spend my money on something else.
